Project

The brief was to rationalise the famous Johnnie Walker ‘Striding man’ logo – at the time there were 52 variations – so that a single image would represent the brand worldwide. The second part of the brief was to redesign the Johnnie Walker Black and Red labels and the packaging, keeping Johnnie Walker’s long-standing heritage in mind. In other words, an evolutionary rather than revolutionary change.
